41P: Is an Executive Order on NFA Firearms Likely?

We've received questions regarding the likelihood of the Obama Administration announcing a final order for the enactment of its so-called 41P proposal concerning trusts and firearms regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA), including suppressors, short barrels, and full auto firearms.  Arsenal Attorneys follow this and many other issues closely because we have set a goal of keeping our clients well informed about firearms regulations.  For this reason, our lawyers begin each client consultation for our Arsenal Gun Trust with a briefing on current events.  We provide a balanced view so our client can form his/her own informed opinions.  We also alert clients to the many false rumors in gun control politics.  Here is a summary of how we're currently advising clients on 41P:

  • Arsenal Attorneys have monitored 41P closely for nearly 3 years since rumors first circulated about such an executive order.  
  • We have many well-informed sources in the firearms industry and the government who believe a final order on 41P will not happen.
  • Inside ATF, a non-public alternative to 41P is under consideration, and that internal debate has delayed a final order.
  • As ownership of NFA firearms has increased, opposition to 41P in the US Congress has increased. 
  • The National Sheriffs' Association have formally announced their opposition to 41P because it would increase red tape without improving public safety--Arsenal Attorneys is the only source to bring this fact to light. 
  • On several occasions ATF has set a date to announce a final order, but they have missed that self-imposed deadline over and over and over again.  Each time a deadline is skipped, ATF is required to post a new date for a final order.  ATF had posted a date of "12/00/2015", then it changed that date to "01/00/2015."  Some observers have assumed this latest date change is somehow significant, but they have no other evidence to show this new date is different from the previous deadlines that proved meaningless.
  • If a final order is ever announced, ATF had informally confirmed the public would receive 60 days' notice, and applications to register new NFA firearms in process would not be subject to 41P.
  • When there is any doubt or uncertainty, we advise our clients to be proactive.  Anyone interested in acquiring NFA firearms should not delay.  

We are serving clients everyday by helping them create an Arsenal Gun Trust for NFA firearms, and in most states the Arsenal Gun Trust can act as an estate plan for an entire gun collection, including non-NFA firearms and firearms accessories.  To learn about the Arsenal Gun Trust, review our website for a tutorial and FAQs.  You can begin the process of requesting our Arsenal Gun Trust services by completing our online questionaire. 

Arsenal Attorneys serves clients in every state where NFA firearms are permitted.  Contact us with any questions.
